What is Business Object!?

Hi everybody,
I'm newby in all of this, i mean SAP, i do some things in PI, but now i need to work with Business Objects, and i really don't have idea. I was looking for information about it but i didn't find something that explain what is business objects in technical way, like development, what do i need to develop?
What is the first thing that i need to install?
where can i find it (application, executable) to download?
Is a Web Server or Application Server, necessary?
I tried to find all the technical aspects (like BO theory) and the architecture for BO, but nothing clear yet. I only found funtional foundations, like the propose of the BO and the characteristics, but not how does it work!!.
Could anybody help me please?
Thanks,
Vicman

Hi,
Learning BO would be a very smooth, I can assure you a pleasant run; if you are a BI consultant, I advise you to first install BO Edge which is free on SAP site at "Free Trials"
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/freetrials/index.epx
and start with the below link to get hold of the user guides and start familiarising with first the universe and then the Desktop Intelligence/Web Intelligence.
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/
I am very sure if you pick the universe first and jump on desktop Intelligence, you will be able to learn it fairly fast.
All the Best.

What SAP Business Objects Web Services to use with XI3.0

I'm new to BO and is tasked to install it.
What I've installed already is the BOE XI3.0 version and now want to install Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise.
What I can not figure out from the Xcelsius manual or SDN or OSS is what the Business Objects Web Services are the manual instructs you to install with Xcelsius.
I did find something called
BusinessObjects Web Services XI for Windows and downloaded it but is not sure if this is what I need to install as the business Object Web Services on XI 3.0
Can someone please direct me in the correct direction
Thanks in advance
Liezel

Hi,
i am not sure if i understand your question. If you mean Query as a Webservice (QaaWS), this component should be part of your XI 3.0 Enterprise installation. You could also use the flynet (www.flynet.co.uk) which is part of Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP1.

Whats the business object attached to the transaction TBB1 ??

Whats the business object attached to the transaction TBB1 .
I am trying to post a loan contract fees and repayment from Treasury to GL.
Thanks ,
Naval Bhatt

Below is the exact requirement .... but there is no event generate right now ... I feel that there are some configurations need to be done ..for the event to be generated ...
It will be great if you have any idea about the configurations .. .
Objective:
When loan contract fees and repayment are posted from Treasury to GL, workflow should be activated to:
a. Insert a payment block 'Z' in the document (Will need to create a user-table to define the criteria where payment block is to be inserted), AND
b. Route the document for approval.
If amount < 10,000, only 1 level approval
If amount > 10,000, 2 levels approval required.

What is business objects

When I browse the BusinessObject pages on SDN and the BusinessObjects forums, i see a lot of infomation about tools and stuf that I know - and still I am not familiar with the term "BusinessObjects"
I know SAP R/3 Business Objects and the Business Object Builder (transaction SWO1), but I can see that these Business Objects has nothing to do with BusinessObjects?
Can anyone explain in a nutshell what is BusinessObjects?

What makes Business Objects so special?

Hello,
I am a student of Moscow State Institute of International Relations and I has chosen Business Objects as a theme of my Bachelor graduation work.
So I have several questions:
1. What does offer Business Objects that does not offer for example not so special program as Excel from Microsoft?
2. I am also interested in such form of representation of the results as so called u201Cpilot cabinu201D system.
I will appreciate any information concerning these two topics and any examples of the reports which provide information in more visual way.
Thanks,
Nikolay

Thanks in advance

Hi,
What are business objects and as a functional consultant what I can do with business objects?
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/59/ae4484488f11d189490000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
Business objects are real world entities modeled as objects in an information system.
Business objects encapsulate both data structures and the functions applied to the data, but hide their full complexity from other objects. This encapsulation of data and functions makes it easier to modify program components, because you can program with the relevant entities without having to know all the implementation details. You can also reuse existing functions.
WHat and where business objects can be useful ?
Client programs access business objects by reading their attributes, or by calling the methods that make up the objects interface:
Attributes
Attributes describe the data stored in an object through a set of properties. They provide direct read access to the data structures of objects, but client programs cannot change them from outside.
Methods
Methods provide a way to encapsulate the data structures of business objects, and to process them. When accessing an object, the client program calls a method with parameters and gets back return parameters.
Interface
The interface is the set of methods associated with a business object, and determines how an object interacts with the outside world.
The client program defines the object types to be used and, at runtime, creates object instances of those object types.
SAP business objects are managed in R/3's Business Object Repository (BOR).

Naveen.

Requirements and Architecture for Business Objects Universe

Hi - apologies in advance for the probable repeat question but a search of the forums brought back an overload of information that wasn't quite specific enough.
We are about to purchase an application that comes with a Business Objects Universe but we've been told that we'll need to sort out our own licensing for the Client/Server side of its use.
I've done a lot of work with Crystal Reports in the past but having read up on Business Objects it appears that either the Desktop Intelligence of Web Intelligence clients are designed for the reporting facilities in BO.
Basically, the question is what exactly do we need to run reports from the BOU across the company AND what server architecture is required/recommended for the same?
As I see it, the BOU is the equivalent of an ORM layer in software development. This would mean we'd have:
DATABASE
UNIVERSE
REPORTING CLIENT
...where the reporting client allowed the development and distribution of reports based on the specific licences purchased. However the reporting client wouldn't be Crystal Reports - is that correct?
Also is there any ballpark figure for the server and client licence costs? Assuming 5 developers and up to 300 users (although it may only be management needing viewer access so possibly only a dozen users on top of the developers in that case).
I've tried to work this out for myself but there seems to be a lot of confusion around what is Business Objects (the product) and who Business Objects the company are and where Crystal fits in with everything.
For a bog-standard implementation of a BOU what is absolutely necessary?
Thanks
Nic

Hi Nic,
As you've described Universe is a meta data layer in between Database and Reporting Layer. You could create reports using Desktop Intelligence, Web Intelligence, Web Intelligence Rich Client and even Crystal Reports. DeskI, WebI Rich, Crystal Reports do require client installations and you have an added advantage of using local data sources like excel and create reports. WebI also creates reports but you don't need any separate client installer for it.
For the ball park figure I'd contact Sales Team...
Your question regarding what is absolutely necessary, there are lot more things need to be taken into consideration like below
1) What are the repeorting needs at a little detailed level?
How would it help: Though there are several reporting tools for users and their reporting needs, it helps in deciding on which of the reporting tools should be the prime ones. Like WebI can be used as Adhoc Reporting Tool once you design your universe.
2) Where would you want these reports to be deployed or on what portal do you want to see reports?
How would it help: It helps in deciding what should be the presentation layer for the reports and how it should be designed. Business Objects has InfoView portal that comes default where you can deploy DeskI, WebI, Crystal Reports. Or if you need to use an existing sharePoint portal you'd need Integration with Sharepoint software.
3) Do you need ETL tools to load your data?
How would it help: It helps in making recommendation on ETL process and if Business Objects Data Integrator is suitable for the scenario
Hope this would help.
Regards,
Vijay

Business Object concept

What is Business Object?what is the concept of Object?What is the advantage of BO?why we are using
BO? How to Extract the data from BW to BO? give me the navigation steps?

Hi Satyam,
Business Objects is an SAP Company, formally known as Business Objects.
BusinessObjects is a Product and has many different Product Categories
EIM: Enterprise Information Management
These set of tools are used to manage, extract, transform and load your data.
Example: Data Federator, Data Quality, Data Integrator
IDD: Information Discovery and Delivery
These set of tools are used to manage your content, users and for reporting
Example: BusinessObjects Enterprise, Infoview, Crystal Reports, Web Intelligence, Desktop Intelligence, Crystal Xcelsius, Universe Designer, Business View Manager, etc.
EPM:Enterprise Performance Management
These set of tools are used for Dashboard and Analytics.
Example: Performance Manager, PM Dashboards, PM Analytics, etc.
The advantages vary from tool to tool in the BusinessObjects Category. However, BusinessObjects supports mostly all the databases for reporting purposes via Semantic Layer or other methods.
The different tools of BO are used for Different Purposes as Stated above. For more specific use of BO, you can go through the documentation at help.sap.com
To extract data from BW (SAP BW) you can use the BusinessObjects Sematic Tool --> Universe Designer XI 3.1. You can get the PDFs for the same from help.sap.com. Once your universe is ready you can make reports with Web Intelligence Reporting tool. You can save this reports in different formats and also can schedule them at a specific time.
Hope these helps.
